Possible ideas for the next photography contest, and a poll.

Here are a couple of ideas for the next photo contest. I'm open to other suggestions as well. Please vote in the poll and let me know what you think. Your comments are also welcome.

1) "I pulled over for this!" Entries can be anything at all. The only requirement would be that you would have to be driving, (or riding), and seen something so outstanding that you felt compelled to pull over and grab a quick shot. Obviously, we would be working on the honor system here, but most of the pics would probably be vacation photos. They could also include urban shots and cityscapes as well. The title of the entry would be the road or highway you were on when you took the picture.

2) "Shot on film!" Again, the subject could be anything at all, but the original would have to have been shot on film. This would mean you would have to either scan an old image or go out and shoot something new with a film camera. If you don't have a scanner, or don't live near a Kinko's, Walgreens, or any of the other places that scan, I'm sure one of the other DU members would be glad to help you out. I would be happy to scan any images that you mail me, or perhaps you have a family member or friend that could help you out.

2. Not my favorite either one. But not going to use that choice.

If our suggestion was used, would that mean we couldn’t enter the contest?

5. How 'bout "Look Up!" -- entailing anything above us: birds in flight,

neat-looking trees, the sky in all its permutations (sunrises/sunsets), jet airplanes, helicopters, the moon, the galaxy, the stars etc.

Thanks for such a successful contest last time Ross!

8. Couple more:

Photography Still Life.

Scary Trees. We call them Disney trees. The kind that come alive at night and enfold lost children into it.

14. April showers bring May flowers? Could be either or both?

Happy accident shots? Funny pet portraits? Nostalgia?
